I'M Not A Special Character
Labyrinth Stairs

"The most plausible thing is the statement that he may be in trouble. The worst possibility is that he could have been caught." Harwich breathed heavily. Thinking of the worst possible made him even more anxious.

'If it really happened, then our situation would become very complicated.' Harwich bit his thumb nail, tried to think.

"But I don't think that's possible." Helwer breaks the atmosphere of panic that hangs between them.

"Why are you so sure?" Harwich turned to look at the woman beside him in surprise. The girl waited for the answer that Helwer would give with an impatient feeling.

"The nano tools installed in our equipment will definitely provide an emergency signal if it detects danger, right? We've been told about that before we leave for this place." Helwer looked back at Harwich, they exchanged glances.

Harwich was silent for a moment hearing that. It is true what Helwer said just now. There could have been something going on or Chjornaya's organizational agents had tools that could destroy such communication equipment easily.

"Alright, the situation is not supportive for now. How next? Are we gonna wish there was another entrance?" Helwer held her forehead, feeling troubled by many things.

"Wait first! There might be!!" Harwich said enthusiastically. Without a second thought, he immediately stepped down the stairs towards the second floor. The girl thought that maybe the entrance there was a diversion. The third floor entrance was actually not located in that place but rather was somewhere else.

Helwer had no other choice but to follow Harwich and follow his steps to a place he did not know where. While Harwich eagerly accelerated his footsteps, as if he already knew where to go.

Just like before, this second floor was not too many agents milling about. Most of them were on the third floor and above. Usually the lower floors and second floors are filled only by new members. So there should be no bad thing that is or will happen.

On the way they had crossed paths with one of the colleagues who might have contacted them a while ago. It turned out that he was with a superior and looked like he was being questioned a lot of things.

The two girls just passed them by. The boss's view was diverted, but then he returned to his initial activities.

Harwich heaved a sigh of relief for not being stopped by the higher-ups of the organization so that they could save even more time because of that.

They continued to walk towards the dressing room they had stopped by. Harwich only remembered that he had seen a door that looked like it was made of wood near the corner of the room. It was possible that behind the door was not a storage room, but a staircase leading to the third floor. A real entrance.

Still, Harwich are worried about a lot of things. Especially about the tightened security on the third floor. There was no way they could just enter even if they had found the right path to arrive at their destination.

When he got to the front door of the dressing room, Harwich opened the door slowly and then closed it again. Once again his legs were forced to move towards one corner of the room.

Helwer just realized there was a door there. The color of the door was fused with the wall so it was slightly camouflaged.

The girl's hand immediately pulled the doorknob, opening it slowly. Sure enough, right now in front of them was a staircase that soared into the darkness. There was not the slightest bit of lights that lit up making the scene in front of them feel a little creepy.

"Now or not at all." Harwich gulped, taking a bold step up the steps covered by the darkness. Helwer returned from behind.

This time they feel bad for not carrying a flashlight or anything that can be used. Plus they are not allowed to carry a smartphone while on a mission.

"It's very disturbing. There's nothing to see." Harwich complained while grunting in annoyance. From then on his feet could only feel and feel from behind heavy shoes.

They continued to step up until they finally saw a glowing light ahead of them, just above the pause before the next staircase. Arriving under the light of the lamp, they were startled by something new.

There are two stairs leading in the opposite direction. One of the stairs goes up and the other goes down. None of Harwich or Helwer could see as deep as the stairs leading down as it was too dark.

Just now that they have solved one puzzle, they are now again faced with another. Harwich was angry. He felt very mocked by the structure of this very complicated building, wanted it to feel like Harwich berated the architecture that became the mastermind of the formation of this place.

"Good! Now what else?" Helwer took a deep breath. Both of them were fed up at the same time. Not much time is given to carry out the mission. Moreover, they had to complete more than one task in this mission.

"Don't you think that this staircase goes straight to the basement?" Helwer stared at the staircase below. Harwich watched for a moment, thinking the same thing.

"What if they want us to think so?" Harwich asked another contradictory question.

"Damn!" Helwer kicked at the wall beside him.

It's completely dead-end and will take a lot of time. Perhaps what is meant by tightening security is to create a misleading ladder labyrinth like this. There is no guarantee that this crossing is the only one. There could have been another staircase crossing waiting for them.

"It's better we deal with the guards than we deal with something like this." Helwer wiped his face, trying to stay calm.

"Maybe it's time we called the whole mission. We can split the group to save time." Harwich took out a small remote with only one button on its surface.

Harwich pressed the button with his thumb, pressing it long enough for a long beep.

"I called all the members to come to the stairs behind the door that was in the corner of the dressing room immediately."
